Unaccompanied

These unaccompanied solos were written to specifically not need an accompanist. I do not plan to ever add accompaniment to any of these solos; it’s the idea of a single line weaving complete ideas that makes these unaccompanied solos so intriguing.

This alto saxophone solo is a musical depiction of Psalm 51; a biblical text describing David’s sorrow over his sin. A unique feature in this unaccompanied saxophone solo is a drone pitch which the performer uses to create different effects.
